Sending Outlook 2007 Meeting Request with HTML Body

Question

I know that Outlook.ApointmentItem.Body only supports plain and rich text formats. But my requirement is to send the Appointment with a Html body. Currently I am saving the ApointmentItem as an ics file and attaching it to the e-mail. This works but the outcome that I am looking for is that it is received as a meeting request. I.e. I receive this e-mail I can see the body and have the option to respond to the meeting request. I tried forwarding the AppointmentItem as a vCal but that does not work either. I am I headed in the right direction?

Thanks

Answer 1

The only way of doing this is using system.mail.net and building your own ics. But Outlook and probably other mail clients will convert the html to rtf anyway.

Answer 2

Go to new mail, Change it to HTML under Format text and on the same mail, put all your meeting participant and then select schedule a meeting (Once again, from same new mail)
